Miranda Maverick Bio

Miranda Maverick is an American mixed martial artist competing in the UFC women’s flyweight division. As of September 13, 2026, the UFC lists her as an active athlete, training at Pound 4 Pound Muay Thai and Easton Training Center in Denver. Born July 1, 1997, Maverick is known as “Fear The,” stands 5 feet 3 inches, and is listed by the promotion as a Brazilian jiu-jitsu-based fighter and black belt.

Maverick turned professional in 2016 after building an amateur foundation while studying psychology and sociology at Drury University. She later pursued doctoral work in industrial/organizational psychology at Old Dominion University. Before reaching the UFC, she won Invicta FC’s Phoenix Series 2 flyweight tournament in September 2019, finishing DeAnna Bennett in the final. Maverick made her UFC debut against Liana Jojua at UFC 254 in October 2020, winning by doctor stoppage. Her UFC work has featured a blend of southpaw striking, clinch and wrestling pressure, positional grappling, and submission attacks; a notable example was her third-round armbar of Priscila Cachoeira at UFC 291 in July 2023.
